the primary blocker to UBI is the puritan belief that humanity is so sinful and depraved that it should not be permitted personhood unless it becomes 'civilised'
that's how liberal social policy ended up asserting that helping people would harm them but hurting people would help them

Hassan did a video the other day about how Rogan has bought into the whole conspiracy about the Signal chat in Minneapolis. Whatever misgivings he might have about how ICE is operating, he’s far from turning on Trump.
He is really one of the dumbest men alive.

you can't take anyone saying "rogan has turned on trump" seriously. the guy is completely compromised. he spends his entire life online but plays dumb about anything inconvenient for the right wing and tries to dodge the topic. he's a fully controlled arm of the US government

This is the clearest sign that ICE is nowhere near “drawing down”. They’re only getting started.
I don’t know what else to say other than to CALL your state reps and reiterate the strain on resources these facilities will cause to their communities.

ICE expects to hold between 1,500 and 10,000 detainees across 23 towns in warehouses converted into detention centers. This month, officials purchased two facilities in Maryland and Arizona.
ICE buys warehouses for mass detention network, rattling locals
ICE officials have quietly begun notifying warehouse owners and local officials of their interest in specific properties, prompting efforts to block the projects.

officers wearing the [body cam] warning had 147% higher odds of using force than those in the control condition. The effect was even more pronounced in “proactive” police work (such as officer-initiated stops) where the odds of force were 205% higher for officers with the yellow warning label.

About that Senate vote we've all been waiting for all day...
NO SENATE VOTE TONIGHT
Couldn’t get all senators to allow a speedy vote. Schumer tells reporters Lindsey Graham is blocking it. “That’s the holdup,” Schumer tells reporters. Graham wants to keep a provision letting him sue to pocket $500,000 over J6 phone records seized.

Dumping people has always been a brutal law enforcement sport; doing it in this weather could be a lethal one. (David is responding to Jeffries deciding to take a stand against deporting citizens, which is not what they're doing; it's a catch, abuse, and release program when it's not lethal.)
DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold.
It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.

‘Abolish ICE’ has become an increasingly popular position and people are being shot in the streets over it why the fuck would you dillweeds roll over like this. Especially given that citizenship is much more friable than people think it is this is not as protective as dems want it to look.

Every city in the US is like this. Cops do whatever they want with almost no accountability, while milking taxpayers for outrageous overtime, and if you’re a public official who dares to address this their unions will slander & demonize you. But let’s keep criticizing public school teachers though.

ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.
A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor.
ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.
